(a) Calculation of Adjustment. The Purchase
Price shall be (i) increased by the amount that the Closing Date Net Assets (as
hereinafter defined), are greater than $25,099,080 (which amount is the book

"Target Net Assets"); or (ii) decreased by the amount that the Closing Date Net
Assets are less than the Target Net Assets. The term "Closing Date Net Assets"
as used herein shall mean the book value of the Assets set forth on the Final
Closing

-8-

Statement of Net Assets (as hereinafter defined) in excess of the amount of the
Assumed Liabilities set forth on the Final Closing Statement of Net Assets,
determined in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The amount of
any decrease or increase to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)
plus interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of
payment at the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be paid by Seller or
Buyer, as the case may be, by wire transfer in immediately available funds
within five (5) business days after the Final Closing Statement of Net Assets

hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, "Prime Rate" means the
prime rate of interest in effect on the Closing Date as stated in the "Money
Rates" section of the Wall Street Journal.

(b) Preparation of Closing Statement of Net
Assets. As soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after
the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") to prepare an
audited statement of net assets for the Business consisting of the Assets and
the Assumed Liabilities, as of the close of business on the Closing Date
determined on a pro forma basis as if the parties hereto had not consummated
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing Statement of Net
Assets"), to be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a basis consistent with the September
30, 1997 Financial Statements (including the September Balance Sheet) through
full application of the policies and procedures used in preparing the September
30, 1997 Financial Statements (including the September Balance Sheet) and
taking into account the type of adjustments included in the September Balance
Sheet set forth in Schedule 3.4, and with changes in contract estimates at
completion ("EAC's") and estimates to complete ("ETC's") determined on a basis
consistent with the method used for the determination of the September 30, 1997
Financial Statements (including the September Balance Sheet); provided that,
for purposes of the Closing Statement of Net Assets, the cash and cash
equivalents held in non-US bank accounts for the benefit of the STS Division
shall be transferred to Buyer and shall be reflected as assets of the STS
Division and shall be included in the calculation of any Purchase Price
adjustment required by this Section. The Closing Statement of Net Assets shall
be accompanied by the report of E&Y thereon and by a certificate of Seller's
Chief Financial Officer, each of which shall state that the Closing Statement
of Net Assets presents fairly, in all material respects, the Assets and Assumed
Liabilities presented on such statement as provided for in this Agreement at
the Closing Date in conformity with GAAP consistently applied with the
September 30, 1997 Financial Statements, except that it does not contain all
the notes required by GAAP. Buyer shall provide Seller, E&Y and the Neutral
Auditor such access to the Books and Records as may reasonably be required for
the preparation and/or review of the Closing

-9-

Statement of Net Assets. All fees and expenses of E&Y relating to the
preparation of the Closing Statement of Net Assets shall be borne equally by
Seller and Buyer.

(c) Review of Closing Statement of Net Assets.
After receipt of the Closing Statement of Net Assets, Buyer shall have thirty
(30) days to review it. Buyer and its authorized representatives shall have
full access to all Books and Records and appropriate employees of the Seller
and its accountants to the extent required to complete their review of the
Closing Statement of Net Assets including work papers used in preparation
thereof. Unless the Buyer delivers written notice to Seller on or prior to the
30th day after receipt of the Closing Statement of Net Assets specifying in
reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor, the parties shall
be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Closing Statement of Net Assets.
If Buyer so notifies the Seller of an objection to the Closing Statement of Net
Assets, the parties shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of such
notice (the "Resolution Period") attempt to resolve their differences and any
resolution by them as to any disputed amount shall be final, binding,
conclusive and nonappealable for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d) Resolution. If at the conclusion of the
Resolution Period the parties have not reached an agreement on the objections,
then all amounts remaining in dispute may, at the election of either party, be
submitted to Price Waterhouse or another large international accounting firm
not otherwise engaged by either party (the "Neutral Auditor"). Each party
agrees to execute, if requested by the Neutral Auditor, a reasonable engagement
letter. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by
the Neutral Auditor shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer, unless the
Neutral Auditor finds one party acted in bad faith in which case that party
pays all. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and
expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute
hereunder before the Neutral Auditor shall be borne by the party incurring such
cost and expense. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an arbitrator to determine,
based solely on the presentations by Seller and Buyer, and not by independent
review, only those issues still in dispute. The Neutral Auditor's
determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of its engagement (which
engagement shall be made no later than five (5) business days after the
election by either party to submit the objections to the Neutral Auditor) or as
soon thereafter as possible, shall be set forth in a written statement
delivered to Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding, conclusive and
nonappealable for all purposes hereunder. The term "Final Closing Statement of
Net Assets," as hereinafter used, shall mean the definitive Closing Statement
of Net Assets agreed to by Seller and Buyer in accordance with Section 2.7(c)
or the definitive Closing Statement of Net Assets resulting

-10-

from the determination made by the Neutral Auditor in accordance with this
Section 2.7(d) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Seller and
Buyer).

the same or in asserting any of their respective rights hereunder
(collectively, "Losses"), resulting from or arising out of:

(i) Any misrepresentation or breach of any
warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement; provided that any claim for
indemnification by Buyer under this clause (i) may be made no later than 18
months from and after the Closing Date, excepting only that any claim for
misrepresentation or breach of warranty under Sections 3.6, 3.10(a), 3.18(a),
3.19 and 3.21 may be made no later than a date thirty days from and after the
expiration of the period of the applicable statute of limitations;

and until the aggregate amount of all claims against Seller exceeds $270,000
and then only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds $270,000. Claims
thereafter may be asserted regardless of amount. Seller's maximum liability to
Buyer Indemnitees under clauses (i) and (v) of this Section shall not exceed

representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the "Seller Indemnitees") from
and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty
of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule of Buyer; provided that
any claim for indemnification by Seller under this paragraph (i) may be made no

(ii) any failure of Buyer to perform any covenant
or agreement made or contained in the Agreement or fulfill any other obligation
in respect thereof;

(iv) claims made on or drawings under any of the
letters of credit or performance or surety bonds referred to in Schedule 5.2(e)

Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Seller Indemnitees
with respect to any claim for indemnification resulting from or arising out of
matters described in clause (i) above pursuant to this Section unless and until

liability to Seller Indemnitees under clause (i) of this Section shall not
exceed $13,750,000.

9.3 Adjustments to Indemnification Payments. Any payment
made by Seller to Buyer Indemnitees, on the one hand, or by Buyer to Seller
Indemnitees, on the other hand, pursuant to this Article IX in respect of any
claim shall be net of any insurance proceeds realized by and paid to the
Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use
its reasonable efforts to make insurance claims relating to any claim for which
it is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX; provided that the
Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to make such an insurance claim if the
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment believes that the cost of pursuing
such an insurance claim together with any corresponding increase in insurance
premiums or other chargebacks to the Indemnified Party, as the case may be,
would exceed the value of the claim for which the Indemnified Party is seeking
indemnification.

9.4 Indemnification Procedures. In the case of any claim
asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party"), notice shall be given by the
Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the
"Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual
knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified
Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying
Party) to assume the defense of any third party claim or any litigation with a
third party resulting therefrom, provided that (i) the counsel for the
Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified
Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party's expense, and
(iii) the omission by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the

-39-

Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except
and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially damaged as a
result of such failure to give notice. Except with the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim
or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting
the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release
from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. In the event that
the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the conduct of the
defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed
settlement of any such claim by the Indemnifying Party might be expected to
affect adversely the Indemnified Party's Tax liability or the ability of Buyer
to conduct its business, or that the Indemnified Party may have available to it
one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of
those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim
or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement,
negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the
Indemnifying Party, provided that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and
assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation
without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept
the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party shall have
the full right to defend against any such claim or demand and shall be entitled
to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. In any event, the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of
any claim or litigation subject to this Article IX and the records of each shall
be available to the other with respect to such defense.

9.5 Expiration of Representations and Warranties, etc.
All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing for a period of 18 months; provided that the representations and
warranties stated in Sections 3.6, 3.10(a), 3.18(a), 3.19 and 3.21 shall
survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations.

9.6 Exclusive Remedy. The indemnifications provided for
in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedies
available to either party against the other party for any claims under or based
upon this Agreement.

10.6 Arbitration Procedure.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree that the arbitration
procedure set forth below shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving
and remedying any and all disputes regarding claims for money damages based
upon, arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated herein (the "Disputes"). Nothing in this Section
10.6 shall prohibit a party hereto from instituting litigation to enforce any
Final Determination (as defined below). The parties hereby agree and
acknowledge that, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.6 or in the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as in
effect from time to time, the arbitration procedures and any Final
Determination hereunder shall be governed by and shall be enforced pursuant to
the Uniform Arbitration Act as in effect in the State of New York.

(b) In the event that any party asserts that
there exists a Dispute, such party shall deliver a written notice to each other
party involved therein specifying the nature of the asserted Dispute and
requesting a meeting to attempt to resolve the same. If no such resolution is
reached within 45 days after such delivery of such notice, the party delivering
such notice of Dispute (the "Disputing Person") may, within 75 days after
delivery of such notice, commence arbitration hereunder by delivering to each
other party involved therein a notice of arbitration (a "Notice of
Arbitration") and by filing a copy of such Notice of Arbitration with the New
York City office of the American

-51-

Arbitration Association. Such Notice of Arbitration shall specify the matters
as to which arbitration is sought, the nature of any Dispute, the claims of
each party to the arbitration and the amount and nature of damages or other
relief sought to be recovered as a result of any alleged claim and any other
matters required by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association as in effect from time to time to be included therein.

(c) Buyer and Seller each shall select one
arbitrator expert in the subject matter of the Dispute (the arbitrators so
selected shall be referred to herein as "Buyer's Arbitrator" and "Seller's
Arbitrator," respectively). In the event that either party fails to select an
arbitrator as set forth herein within 30 days after the delivery of a Notice of
Arbitration, then the matter shall be resolved by the arbitrator selected by
the other party. Seller's Arbitrator and Buyer's Arbitrator shall select a
third independent, neutral arbitrator expert in the subject matter of the
Dispute, and the three arbitrators so selected shall resolve the Dispute
according to the procedures set forth in this Section 10.6. If Seller's
Arbitrator and Buyer's Arbitrator are unable to agree on a third arbitrator
within 20 days after their selection, Seller's Arbitrator and Buyer's
Arbitrator shall each prepare a list of three independent arbitrators.
Seller's Arbitrator and Buyer's Arbitrator shall each have the opportunity to
designate as objectionable and eliminate one arbitrator from the other
arbitrator's list within ten days after submission thereof, and the third
arbitrator shall then be selected by lot from the arbitrators remaining on the
lists submitted by Seller's Arbitrator and Buyer's Arbitrator.

(d) The arbitrators selected pursuant to Section
10.6(c) shall determine the allocation of the costs and expenses of
arbitration.

(e) The arbitration shall be conducted in New
York City, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association as in effect from time to time, except as otherwise set forth
herein or as modified by the agreement of Buyer and Seller. The arbitrators
shall conduct the arbitration such that a final result, determination, finding,
judgment and/or award (the "Final Determination") is made or rendered as soon
as practicable, but in no event later than 120 days after the delivery of the
Notice of Arbitration nor later than ten days following completion of the
arbitration. The Final Determination shall be made in writing, shall state the
basis for such determination and shall be agreed upon and signed by the sole
arbitrator or by at least two of the three arbitrators (as the case may be).
The Final Determination shall be final and binding on all parties, and there
shall be no appeal from or reexamination of the Final Determination, except for
fraud, perjury, evident partiality or misconduct by an arbitrator prejudicing
the rights of any party and to correct manifest clerical errors.

-52-

(f) Buyer and Seller may enforce any Final
Determination in any state or federal court having jurisdiction over the
Dispute. For the purpose of any action or proceeding instituted with respect
to any Final Determination, each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of such courts, irrevocably consents to the service of process by
registered mail or personal service and hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter
have as to personal jurisdiction, the laying of the venue of any such action or
jurisdiction, the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding brought
in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in
any court has been brought in an inconvenient form.

10.7 Attorneys Fees. In the event any party hereto
initiates any legal action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all
reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and expenses incurred by the
prevailing party in connection therewith.

10.8 Liability for Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Seller shall
each be responsible for and pay in a timely manner 50% of all sales (including,
without limitation, bulk sales), use, value added, documentary, stamp, gross
receipts, registration, transfer, conveyance, excise, recording, license and
other similar Taxes and fees ("Transfer Taxes"), arising out of or in
connection with or attributable to the transactions effected pursuant to this
Agreement. Each party hereto shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns
required to be filed in respect of Transfer Taxes (including, without
limitation, all notices required to be given with respect to bulk sales taxes)
that are the primary responsibility of such party under applicable law;
provided, however, that such party's

-53-

preparation of any such Tax Returns shall be subject to the other party's
approval, which approval shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably.

Products under the preceding sentence, the quantities of STS Products to be
purchased by L-3 pursuant to this Section shall be at the sole discretion of L-3
and no minimum quantities of STS Products are required to be purchased
hereunder, Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if CMI provides written

design, integration, installation and/or program management. Without limiting
the obligation of CMI to purchase the Services under the preceding sentence, the
quantities of Services to be purchased by CMI pursuant to this Section shall be

that L-3 intends to discontinue providing, L-3 will be relieved of any
obligation to provide to CMI any such Services as of one year from the date that
L-3 so notifies CMI.

deliver to L-3 the products specified in the SIVAM Proposals (the "SIVAM
Products") in accordance with the quantities, product specifications and time
period proposed by such divisions in the SIVAM Proposals, and L-3 shall
purchase, during such Supply Period, the SIVAM Products from such divisions or
subsidiaries in accordance with the SIVAM Proposals, provided that:

(i) CMI accepts the terms and conditions of and performs its
duties under, as subcontractor to L-3, the contract or agreement awarded by
Raytheon to L-3 for the SIVAM Project, including, without limitation, payments
made under a vendor trust arrangement generally required by Raytheon; and

(ii) the pricing for each SIVAM Product quoted by CMI
(including EF Data, the MN Division and Data Systems) is competitive with, and
in no event more than 5% above, any proposal made in good faith by a legitimate
party which seeks to sell such SIVAM Product to L-3 and which agrees to perform
the duties and obligations as a subcontractor to L-3 under

-2-

the SIVAM Project with respect to such Product. In the event that L-3 is
permitted to purchase a SIVAM Product from a party other than CMI or EF Data
pursuant to this clause (ii) because that product has not met the conditions set
forth in this clause (ii), L-3 will remain obligated to purchase from CMI all of
the other SIVAM Products so long as those products meet the conditions in this
clause (ii) and clause (i) above and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof.

As used herein, the term "Product" shall mean a STS Product or a SIVAM
Product.

except that in no event shall (i) the Unit Price of any Source Product be less
favorable than the unit price given to other customer for such Source Product in
like quantities and (ii) any such increase in price increase the gross margin
percentage of CMI or its subsidiaries with respect to such Source Product from
its current gross margin percentage thereon. Upon L-3's written request, CMI
will provide L-3 with reasonable access during normal business hours to the
books and records of CMI and its subsidiaries for the sole purpose of
verifying the gross margin percentages with respect to the Source Products.

(b) STS Products. CMI shall sell (or cause its subsidiaries to

(a) CMI Terms and Conditions. Any sale of the STS Products by CMI or
any of its subsidiaries under this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by

delivery or provision. Each invoice will be itemized in reasonable detail. The
non-selling party will pay to the selling party the amount of such invoice
within 60 days of the date of such invoice.

12. Confidentiality. Each party will preserve the confidentiality of the
other party's Confidential Information (defined below), will not use same except
in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, and will return
same upon request by the other party. This Section will survive expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of three years thereafter.
"Confidential Information" means all proprietary information (including but not
limited to formulas, compilations, data, know-how, specifications, techniques,
inventions, devices, projections, drawings and plans, whether of a technical,
operational, financial or other nature) which hereafter is, or in the past has
been, disclosed in writing and marked as confidential by either party (the
"Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), and which is of
such a nature that its value would be impaired if disclosed to third parties,
but shall not include any such information that: (i) becomes part of the public
domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) at the time of receipt is
known to the Receiving Party as shown by its written records; (iii) becomes
known to the Receiving Party from another source and the Receiving Party is not
aware that such source is under an obligation to another Person to keep such
information confidential; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by the Receiving
Party as a result of judicial or administrative process or by other requirements
of law.

13. Indemnity.

(a) With respect to any Products or Services sold hereunder, the
selling party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party and its affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from
and against any damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement of any
claim, of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be sustained or suffered as a
result of the infringement or alleged infringement of the copyrights or

-5-

U.S. patents of third parties or the breach by CMI of its represention in the
fourth sentence of Section 3.16 of the Purchase Agreement, and to defend, at its
expense, any actions, claims or suits against purchasing party based upon such
infringement or alleged infringement. If the use of any products furnished
hereunder is enjoined as a result of such a suit, the selling party at its
option, and at no expense to the other party, shall obtain for the other party
the right to use said products, substitute an equivalent product reasonably
acceptable to selling party and extend this indemnity thereto, or accept the
return of products and reimburse the other party the purchase price thereof,
less a charge for reasonable wear and tear. This indemnity does not extend to
any suit based upon any infringement or alleged infringement of any patent or
copyright to the extent due to the combination of any products furnished by the
selling party and other elements not supplied by or on behalf of the selling
party nor does it extend to any products to the extent such products infringe as
a result of the other party's design or formula.

(b) The purchasing party agrees to notify the selling party in
writing of any suit. At its request and at its expense the selling party shall
have the right to control the defense of said suit. Except with the prior
written consent of the purchasing party, no selling party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief
affecting the purchasing party or that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such purchasing party of a
release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. In the
event that the purchasing party shall in good faith determine that the conduct
of the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed
settlement of any such claim by the selling party might be expected to affect
adversely the purchasing party's tax liability or the ability of the purchasing
party to conduct its business, or that the purchasing party may have available
to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or
more of those that may be available to the selling party in respect of such
claim or any litigation relating thereto, the purchasing party shall have the
right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement,
negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the
selling party, provided that if the purchasing party does so take over and
assume control, the purchasing party shall not settle such claim or litigation
without the written consent of the selling party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. In the event that the selling party does not accept the
defense of any matter as above provided, the purchasing party shall have the
full right to defend against any such claim or demand and shall be entitled to
settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand. In any event, the selling
party and the purchasing party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or
litigation subject to this Section and the records of each shall be available to
the other with respect to such defense.

(c) The foregoing Sections 13(a) and (b) state the entire liability
of the selling party for patent or copyright infringement. This Section will
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

by the terminating party to the other party.

Information and all copies thereof, and certify, if requested by the other
party, that it has complied with the terms of this sentence. This Section will
survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

17. Sales Convey No Right to Manufacture or Copy. The Products and
Services offered for sale hereunder are offered for sale and are sold by each

other party for Products or Services previously delivered or provided hereunder,
failure of either party to perform its obligations under this Agreement
(including but not limited to failure to make sales or deliveries of Products or
Services) shall be excused to the extent that such failure is attributable to
any cause beyond the reasonable control of the defaulting party, including,
without limitation, acts of God, fires, earthquakes, wars, sabotage, accidents,
embargo, riots, labor disputes, actions of any government or

-7-

governmental agency or failure of same to act where action is required, and the

equipment or transportation; and the time during which such party may perform
will be extended to coincide with the time performance has been prevented,
hindered or delayed as a result of the foregoing. Should either party wish to
claim relief from its obligations hereunder by reason of this Section, such
party shall give notice to the other party without delay of the occurrence of
the event or circumstances in question.

other than the bank accounts referred to in Section 2.7(b) of the Agreement.

2. California Microwave Foreign Sales Corporation.

3. Ku-Band and C-Band V90 and V901 converters, EQ 90 equalizer, ARC and Tiger
redundancy switches, Verticom, and any intellectual property relating thereto

months ago and are included in this schedule for the sake of clarity).

1. Seller is a Delaware corporation in good standing under Delaware law.

2. Seller is qualified to do business in the following states: Arizona,
California, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,

SCHEDULE 3.3

CONFLICTS; APPROVALS

1. Violations of Organizational Documents

None.

2. Violation of Contracts

If the consent to assignment to Buyer of the contracts listed on Schedule
3.11(c) is not obtained before the Closing, then Seller will be in breach of
the provisions in such contracts relating to the assignment thereof by Seller.

1. In connection with a sales agreement entered into between Seller and a
classified U.S. government entity on September 8, 1988, Seller received a
letter dated April 25, 1997 from the federal government making conflicting
claims regarding an overpayment. The letter claims an overpayment of
approximately $39,000 and an overpayment of $1,026,993. Seller believes that no
overpayment was made and is currently presenting accounting records to the
federal government to substantiate its position.

2. Patrick & Co. claimed, by letter dated September 18, 1997, that Seller pay
it a commission of 2% (equalling approximately $290,000) on the total value of
the Contract between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and
California Microwave-Satellite Transmission Systems dated March 17, 1996,
concerning the supply of satellite earth station equipment. Patrick & Co.
asserts that it arranged for the customer's financing of the transaction and in
return is entitled to a commission promised by Seller. Seller believes that it
did not promise a commission and that Patrick & Co. did not successfully
arrange the customer financing.

3. Nu Vision Manufacturing claimed $143,702.37 against Seller by letter dated
December 31, 1996. This claim arose with respect to Blanket Purchase Order No.
138326, dated January 11, 1995. Seller believes that the claim has no merit. In
June 1997, Nu Vision lowered its demand to approximately $70,000, and Seller,
at that time, offered to settle for $10,000 in order to clear the matter.
Seller has not received any communications from Nu Vision Manufacturing or its
counsel since the June, 1997 meeting.

4. In connection with Job Number 6367 in the Sudan, all work has been
terminated effective December 3, 1997, due to an Executive Order of President
Clinton imposing an embargo against Sudan. Seller has withdrawn all of its
personel in the Sudan. Consequently, there is no further activity under the
contract. $1,000,000 with respect to this contract was written off in October,
1997.

5. In connection with Job Number 6495 with Romsat, Romsat still has not
obtained the necessary financing to purchase the remaining equipment under the
relevant contract. If Romsat does not obtain such financing, Seller may have to
write off $175,000 of accounts receivable and dispose of the remaining $1.2
million in inventory earmarked for the Romsat project.

SCHEDULE 3.6(a)

working with its accountants, Ernst & Young, to bring the filings up to date.
Seller does not believe that it owes any income tax in either jurisdiction.

SCHEDULE 3.7

ABSENCE OF CHANGES

1. Schedule 3.7

In October, 1997, Seller decreased the opening backlog for fiscal year
1998 by $3,617,440. Most of the reduction in backlog is attributable to the

The orders with respect to Alphastar (Job 1026) and TeeCom (Alphastar's
parent company) (Job 6438) booked on March 21, 1997 and April 11, 1997,
respectively, will be reduced by approximately $2.4 million and $341,000,
respectively, due to the declaration of bankruptcy by those companies.

The order with respect to Onatel (Job 6280) booked on May 12, 1993 will
be reduced by approximately $240,000. The customer has stated it does not need
the product and Seller is unwilling to risk its personnel in a country engaged
in a civil war.

Repairs or replacements required for non-warranty equipment will not be
initiated without prior customer approval and issuance of purchase order to
cover this effort.

This warranty is valid only for CM-STS originally supplied equipment. For
"In Warranty" and "Out of Warranty" equipment, CM-STS assumes no responsibility
whatsoever for operation, maladjustment or failure of equipment which results
from any repair or replacement supplied by third parties without prior approval
from CM-STS.

By returning a product, the owner grants CM-STS permission to open and/or
disassemble the product as required for evaluation. In all cases, CM-STS has
sole responsibility for determining the cause and nature of failure, and the
CM-STS determination shall be final.

If it is found that a CM-STS product has been returned without cause and
is still serviceable, the customer will be notified, the product returned to
the customer and a charge for test and evaluation will be levied.

No customer shall initiate a warranty repair or warranty field service
visit with any CM-STS vendor without prior approval from CM-STS Customer
Service Desk.

Unnecessary expense and loss of time can often be avoided by customer
adherence to the above procedures.

CM-STS request that our international customers advise Customer Service
by FAX of equipment being returned for repair. In turn, Customer Service will
FAX the RMA number and any special instructions to the customer. Upon shipment,
please provide the following information:

1) The airline carrier the equipment was shipped on.
2) The date of shipment.
3) The flight number and airway bill number.

The CM-STS FAX number is (516) 272-5500.

All customs documents should indicate that the equipment is being
returned for repair. All customs duties, taxes, levies and other official costs
paid by CM-STS related to the equipment clearing process will be invoiced back
to the customer. Please enclose a copy of the export form with the equipment.
This will ensure that the documentation field by CM-STS for the return shipment
will carry the same information. Customer Service will FAX shipment information
to the customer when the repaired equipment is returned.

(C) Out of Warranty Repairs - With respect to repairs to equipment
purchased by Buyer after the expiration of the Warranty Period specified above,
CM-STS agrees to provide repair service at Buyer's expense on all equipment
ordered hereunder. Equipment to be repaired under this section shall be
returned by Buyer to CM-STS' facility in Hauppauge, New York (freight prepaid).
Unless otherwise agreed upon, CM-STS will ship the repaired unit which shall
meet the unit's established specifications within thirty (30) days (if
materials are available within a reasonable time) after receipt of the
defective unit. Repaired units will be warranted for ninety (90) days from due
date of shipment.

If equipment returned for repair is determined to be beyond repair,
CM-STS will so notify Buyer and, if agreed to by Buyer, ship a replacement unit
within a reasonable time of such agreement. The Buyer agrees to pay for such
replacement unit, and it shall be warranted for one (1) year from date of
shipment. If requested by the Buyer, CM-STS will take the necessary steps to
dispose of unrepairable equipment.

Transportation costs of equipment for repair will be borne by Buyer and
units shall be adequately packed so as to prevent shipping and transportation
damage. All transportation costs associated with the return of repaired and
replacement equipment will be borne by the Buyer. CM-STS will provide support
and repair service for the equipment supplied over the design life of the
equipment as long as such repair service remains available from the applicable
equipment vendor.
